I rather this be a cash shop thing and have limited uses on items you can make. Heraldry wagon token you pay 10 euro for it on cash shop. You can use it on your wagon to change it's art. Heraldry banner, flag for 1 euro change the art on a banner. Maybe work on pricing but I don't think it should be something that is spammed. Saromen has to approve all these PMK things and that's one guy, I think he'd loose his mind if this was free.

Alternatively we could do something similar to Rust where you can paint, but that's still can cause a lot of lewd and inappropriate things. I think stuff should still be approved. Wurm staff could add a new player staff role to be art checkers and that might work.

I think 2g is cheap for unlimited art, the reason why 1g works for pvp servers you have to defend your kingdom or you will be destroyed. It takes a lot of effort.

I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, I like the idea itself. It would add something fun to pve. On the other hand I dislike anything in any game that has such a huge price tag.

To me, 2g translates as over $200 RL Cash. WO is ultimately a RL Cash game after all, no matter how you disguise it. (a rose by any other name.....etc.) Since I don't play pvp in Wurm, I have no clue as to the overall impact of what they pay. Almost seems as though it's something mandatory for them to have a kingdom, from what I can see from where I sit. But pvp aside, it just doesn't sit right with me to have something that expensive for a new feature. Drake, Scale, and other misc. items are bad enough and leave a bad taste in my mouth every time I see WTS posts for them. That's just me though and I realize many don't agree with me.

I think alliances should be able to pay for their own alliance gear, yes. But I don't think it should be custom, because that would be a huge workload on Saroman to implement.

Instead, I think there should be a generator similar to this: http://www.furiousn00b.com/halo4/emblems/ with many, many wurm-related options, unlimited color choices, and different textures, designs, etc. to pick from.

Gives alliances unique gear without overloading the art team and the database with custom skins for every alliance out there, and it would be easier to add to the game in the long run, I'd imagine.

Reason: to have and maintain the possibility to have a custom anything takes a lot of time and energy to takes a lot of time and effort. Not only do you have to come up the gold but you must have a group that is active enough and skilled enough to defend your kingdom. There is great risk involved in this as this is full loot PvP. While I do like some of the aspects of the freedom servers the risk is no where what it is on the PvP servers. This is a pride thing.

As a possible compromise in this maybe not the full item set but a single item such as the tabard or a banner for your alliance that can be placed on your deeds only. This would allow you to show pride in your alliance and yet minimize the slap in the face to those that risk everything.

Huge +1 for the idea, but also huge -1 for proposed implementation and restrictions... Would more like to see ingame emblem designer that players can utilize ( pay to unlock shapes, or + make it ns or tailoring skill dependant so it feels progressive). Also I am against allowing it just for aliances, should be per village also +1 pattern for alliance if you're in one, +1 for kingdom which can stay custom for pmks as it is now to give it more flair.. Would like to see those new heraldry we designed for our village put on sails, shields, breastplates, tapestries, wagons any flat surface that can be painted

I see your point but that is one of the ways they afford to have multiple deeds and pay upwards of a gold or more for a deed per month. Are you able to say you do that? Also are you risking everything you built and have? This is the last I will say on this.
